At the Kyokong quarry in Bomet County, a miner was harvesting sand between two enormous rocks when he was crushed alive by loose rock debris, which caused him to suffocate to death on the spot.

A Bomet disaster unit officer named Stanley Kosgei claims that the deceased's severe head and chest injuries were the cause of their death.

After two more miners who were holed up in a nearby cave managed to escape unharmed and call for assistance, the locals organized to locate the miner who was trapped in the wreckage.
